Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the butter, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger with a large spoon until smooth. Add the two different types of oats and combine until all the oats are covered with the butter and honey mixture. Stir in the walnuts and mix well. Pour into an ungreased jelly roll pan (11 x 17 inches) and spread evenly. Bake for 10 minutes and then turn the oven off. DO NOT open the oven door for at least 10 hours - basically overnight. When ready to eat, pull the pan out of the oven and break into small clusters with a spatula, a large spoon or your hands. Makes approximately five cups. Store in a covered container or a Ziploc-type bag at room temperature up to one week for maximum freshness. To make my "on-the-go granola," I added Craisins, mini chocolate chips and sunflower kernels.
Looks pretty tasty doesn't it?? Other good "add-ins," are peanuts, almonds, pecans, dark chocolate chips, peanut butter chips - pretty much just about anything that is your favorite. How about sprinkling the plain granola on top of some vanilla ice cream? Okay, I'm getting hungry now!
